about the wall gain parameter ? I notice it is set to 0 by default and
in my results, the solar gains are equal to zero if there is no
windows. Is that because my wall gain is zero ? To my mind it's not
really representative of the reality. Should I put a wall gain
different from 0 ? if yes how do I choose ? <br>
</span></span></font></font></blockquote>
the wall gain (whether a constant value, an input, or a schedule) is
just a way of artificially adding (or removing) energy from the
interior of the wall. My understanding of it is that it is a very
simplified way of looking at radiant surface potential. I have never
had occasion to change it from its default value of 0.<br>
